amd retention bracket is a smart idea. intel retention system is bullshit.

you will need to take the motherboard out as well.

and i had a socket head set racheting screwdriver, without it it would have taken me even longer.
they do give you a socket head, but its non magnetic so it will fall off the screwdriver.

buy only if you have over 170mm clearance over the mobo backplate.

Hi..CM products are great....I have the hyper TX3 Evo (Little brother of hyper 212), running great for more than 8 months...Fans are as silent as they can be..the case is a CM Elite 310 (now discontinued,i think), The hyper 212+ will fit in a CM Elite 311 (current model). Buy the one with the transparent side panel.
I have an AMD FX 8350 by the way...Temps are 40-42 C on idle with 57-59 on load without the air conditioner running..
I avoid gaming in the afternoon.

I was running a hyper 212+ on my sig 8350 rig. Promptly removed it for a h100. The hyper 212 sadley didn't do the job for me. Temps hung around mid 50's under load. To hot for a 24/7 crunching rig.Now it stays at a nice 40 c under full load.

currently 50c is idle and on load it reaches 70C so i underclocked it (2.4ghz) and now it goes as high as 61-62C i don't want to keep it Underclocked so i'm thinking to buy cooler so which will u suggest 212x or Seidon 120v or Seidon 120m ?

212 definitely. it matches a corsair H80 if you can pair the cm with good fans. i am using deep cool ice blades.
